Vegetable Lasagna - Speciality Dishes
 
Serves: 4
Preparation Time: 45 Minutes
 
Lasagna is a wide and flat type of pasta and possibly one of its oldest shapes. Though Lasagna is prepared in various combinations such as with cheese only or with beef and cheese or with vegetables and cheese; the recipe being presented here is Indian adaption of this popular Italian dish. My family and friends have relished this dish and I hope you will enjoy it too.
